My son graduated High School!
Jun 04, 2008
Wow, it's been such a busy time here that I haven't posted in forever. My son graduated High School last night!!! 
It was a long ceremony because his class is over 500 kids, but I got right up front to take pictures and see him receive his diploma. Always the class clown right up to the very end, he raised his arms in the air and did this weird celebratory dance that his Grandma caught on tape. 
Aaahhh...the memories... Anyway, my weightloss is progressing along very good. I am now down a total of 114.5 lbs. and very happy with that because my 6 month surgiversary is coming up tomorrow. (Don't forget though that I lost 20 lbs. the month before surgery, but I count EVERY pound people, you better believe that!!!) So, since surgery I have lost 94 lbs. in 6 months!!! 
Thank God for RNY, what a lifesaver! Well, I have to run, we mistakenly planned my son's graduation party for this weekend. Holy crap, talk about rushing around to get everything done!!! 
I hope this blog finds everyone on the losing side and in good spirits. Take care my OH friends. 
100 lbs!!!

It almost came down to my knees! It was very disorienting and I actually was truly confused for a moment if this was really my old sweatshirt. I just couldn't wrap my brain around the fact that I lost that much weight. The second was that we went to an event where the chairs were seated back to back. Normally I would have dreaded this and not gotten up all evening for fear of people having to move out of my way and the fear of not fitting through these tight spaces. It was amazing that I fit through these chairs and people didn't have that look of dread in their eyes when they saw me coming. They scooted in a little bit, just like they would a "normal" person. Before they would have gotten up out of their seat and made way or scooted waaaay in. I just can't describe that feeling of being in a somewhat "normal" body range. It feels so damn good!!!! 
I AM "just doing it"!

I dunno, sometimes after this surgery I just feel like every day is "Groundhog Day". I have to fight to eat enough protein, drink enough liquids, exercise and make sure to take all my vitamins. The exercise part is so hard for me. I still feel so self conscious to go "out" to exercise and if I'm at home there's no accountability, so I just skip it half the time. Then I get down on myself for being a lazy bum. I know things will get easier as time goes on, I just feel like whining a little right now. lol... I don't have much of an appetite except for a few cravings for the "wrong" things (pizza to be exact). No giving in though, I know what has to be done! I am also bummed because I'm only 6 weeks out and at a second stall already. No weight loss for a week, this bites! But again, it's my fault for not exercising like I should. Oh well, enough whining for today... 
My BMI is under 50!!!

I had my surgery last Thursday, Dec. 6th. It went well and was uneventful...yay!!! 
The main pain I have had is the ab type pain where you feel like you waaayyyy overdid it on an ablounge machine or something...lol.... I am able to walk, do small things, go up steps and walk back to the recliner to sit my arse back down! 
That's about it, I'm just so glad it's over and that I'm now on the loser's bench!!!
What a biatch!
